I don't know what state your are in, but I practice law in Texas -- 20 years as a medical malpractice DEFENSE lawyer, and the last few years as as plaintiff's medical malpractice attorney (one case).

Trust me, this poor woman can never find an attorney to represent her (unless he is just in it for the principle of the thing and is willing to pay $250,000 out of his pocket for the privilege of doing so).

For a variety of reasons that are too involved to go into here, this woman has NO CASE even accepting the validity of everything that you have said.

That is what "tort reform" means. Even if you have a good case, you will lose.

The good thing about tort reform is that you can still sue bad lawyers. And there are a lot of bad ones. Most of them it seems.

I think we may have hit on the ONE case where FReepers want those “scumbag trial laywers” to have free reign. Usually a plaintiff is castigated for playing the victim card. Go figure.
